@GunnerBill man I hope you’re right and we end up with Thomas. Unfortunately at the cost of the Dolphins getting worthy and continuing to be a nightmare matchup for us at the WR position. Still, if we got a Thomas I’m ok with it. Let’s hope Dallas jumps ahead of Miami and is in love with Worthy as much as McDaniels is.
And thanks for doing these.

I am in 111 and got a call last Friday from a Legends rep that was looking to dispel rumors and put my mind at ease. I asked him what the policy was for deciding who gets a shot a Super Bowl tickets and he said it was a league policy and the Bills have no control over it. When I asked what the policy is, he didn't know. Not very transparent in my opinion. Probably will end a run since '77, just doesn't make sense to be paying for the right to buy tickets until I'm 79 years old.
Super Bowl tix are like a lottery. To my understanding, is each team gets the same amount of tickets to disperse to their STH. And in lottery fashion, you get a ticket/entry for every seat you have, for every season you’ve had them. So for example, if you’ve had 2 tickets for 15 years, you would have 30 entries in the Super Bowl lottery. They then take the winners, and offer them tickets (at Super Bowl ticket prices, it’s still not cheap) and go down the list until they reach the amount of tickets they have for each team.
The NFL has their own amount of tickets to sell for themselves, and they sell them early. You can buy SuperBowl tix now for next years superbowl if you want. A few years ago I bought tix and then we lost to KC in the AFC Championship game. Took a huge loss on tickets when I sold them in the secondary market to a broker.
to my knowledge, that’s how it’s done, more or less.
as far as this process with the PSLs and seat location for the new stadium, your probably going to pay a pretty penny for similar section type tickets. But I also think people are getting all bent out of shape regarding the current prices that are out there now. If you’re not worried about club seats. Heated. Covered. Extra amenities. You’re not going to be paying 10k for PSLs. If you’re looking for a lower bowl corner, or end zone seat, my guess is less than 5k for a PSL and probably about 2-4k per ticket. Just depends on how close you want to be, or what section. Just my opinion.

No- for a few reasons:
I just think they’re going to blow their draft if they draft another QB other than Maye. I also don’t think a QB needy team should ever trade away the ability to draft the best QB available in order to take a lesser QB.
On top of that, I don’t like passing on Fashanu twice (to draft Wrs both times) when you already spent a 1st on Dotson 2 years ago and paid Mclaurin. So much invested in one position (a position dependent on a good QB) while the OL and DL are barren wastelands of talent.
if you think JJ = Maye (or Daniels) it’s an unbelievably good trade….and that’s certainly possible. I just don’t believe that to be true. I’m not a JJ believer, but I see why teams would draft him later in rd 1. I love Mayes potential.
Well. Dotson hasn’t really shown anything special. We spent a 1st rounder on him but it’s been kind of a wasted pick at this point.
We will throw multiple picks at the OL/DL in the next few rounds and have some real competition there.
im not positive that JJ is the real answer, but I wasn’t positive Maye was either. And because of that I was able to extra picks for additional help that my team needs and will need. 6 picks in the top 76 will make the Commanders better in the long run. And if JJ is the answer, and he plays very well, next year we will be drafting 2 stud OL/DL in the first rd to assist him. If JJ isn’t the answer, we will likely be picking very early in the draft next year and have the extra 1st rounder to get to any QB we like. This isn’t a 1 year we’re going to be contenders, this is the long play at acquiring talent and building on that.

Nah, they’d just be hiring a new HC and drafting another QB in 2-3 years while never making the playoffs 😉
like I said- just a matter of opinion on the QB. I like Maye and think passing on him will be a mistake. I hope the pats pass on him or trade back if Wash takes Jayden
Well. I’m the GM so I make the rules here. Like I said, if I don’t like what JJ shows me, I’ll make moves next year and with the ammo I have I could easily get back into the top few picks to do it.
question, I know you like Maye, but had I taken Pennix, Worthy, McConkey, would you feel any better about it?

Washington should absolutely come out of this draft as the big winners. Anything less is a failure.
Not gonna lie. This is how I felt today.
8 minutes ago, NewEra said:I’d be furious if I were a redskins fan. Now I’d have 3 stud WRs (and a very good WR4-5’s) with no QB to throw to them….who has no OL to block for him and no pass rush to get the D off the field. One year at a time I guess.
I’ld probably feel the same way when the skins draft Daniels over Maye tomorrow night, but drafting 2 WRs and neglecting the OL and DL is reckless imo.
all comes down to your opinion of the QBs. I wanted Josh Rosen. 🤦🏻♂️
Might not be wrong. I have admitted in the past that I haven’t done a lot of work on the QBs. As a Bills fan we haven’t had a need to watch them for a while. Fact is, I could have had Pennix if I wanted him, that’s who the Raiders took, no?
I have weapons for the foreseeable future, and I still have 3 more picks in the next 37 picks and another 6 to back that up to move up more if needed. I also walk away with an extra 1st rounder next year which I’m pretty happy about.
I’ll get 2-3 contributors out of the OL/DL in the rest of this draft (had it moved on) that I’d feel fine about. And if my QB didn’t show signs of progression throughout the season I wouldn’t hesitate to package him along with my 2 first rounders next year to move up for whoever is the next big thing. The Commanders will be ok.

Im not talking about what mrags is doing - I’m just speculating - they have all the capital they need and couldn’t possibly be in a better spot to pull off an Aiyuk trade if they want to.
Or Higgins.
Oh, I was talking about how great I am

@Virgil Obviously you made the right move with the trade up because Thomas was going to go to the Steelers at 20, or to another team in a trade up…and Worthy and McConkey are also gone. So it would have been Franklin/Leggette/Coleman etc, or another trade down scenario. Nice work.
It was also a win-win because I took the guy I likely would have taken at 19 at 28.
Out of the 3 mock draft outcomes for Buffalo, this one is my favorite.
The Commanders had been attempting to move up since 16 to take Thomas. Kept missing out in the deals. The Bills jumped me for the guy I wanted all along. Was offering both 2nds next year to move up along with 40. Missed out on the deals.
inatead of getting Thomas I did the next best thing. Took the best all around route runner and best speed guy in the draft. And spent about the same as I was planning on spending with Thomas. I thought about Franklin in one of the spots but nothing separated him from the others to me. He doesn’t have the speed of Worthy as far as being a mismatch on O, and doesn’t have the route running and ability to get open like McConkey to me. I thought teamed up with McClauren it worked nicely. If this draft continues to other rounds I would be spending a whole bunch on DL, OL in the next few picks.

*** trade alert ***
the Washington Commanders have traded up again. Moving into the next 2 spots with their ammo from Denver earlier in the draft process.
they have traded for pick 40, and next years 2nd rounder (Washington) for pick 26.
with the 26th pick in the 2024 NFL draft the Commanders select: Xavier Worthy, WR, Texas
And
they have traded pick 36 (540 pts) and next years 2nd (den) (200 pts)
For
27 (680 pts)
119 (56 pts)
and with the 27th pick in the 2024 NFL draft, the Washington Commanders select: Ladd McConkey, WR, Georgia
with these 2 picks, the Commanders have ensured WRs to pair with Terry McClauren for the foreseeable future, while ensuring 5th year options on both. Giving JJ McCarthy teammates to grow with.
for this draft we have taken
JJ McCarthy
Xavier Worthy
Ladd McConkey
and still have the following picks
67
76
78
119
136
139
147
152
222
to bolster our offensive and defensive lines in a very deep, but not top heavy draft for the Trenches. All while keeping our extra 1st rounder next year from Denver.
the LA Rams @MrEpsYtown are now on the clock

Dang, I missed a call from my Legends rep on Monday. Called her back and left a message. It's Wednesday and she hasn't called back yet. Was that my call to schedule?
Not sure but what section? I moved recently to 237 from 229 and haven’t received my call yet. Pretty sure they are hitting people up on the visitors sideline right now in the opposite section from 237.

Then you can say that about any team in league. Jacksonville for sure as they play a home game every year in London. With the new stadium on the way I am not going to worry about what might happen 15-20 years from now. I could be taking a dirt nap for all I know in 15-20 years.
Never said it couldn’t affect any other team. I’m just giving my opinion of what will happen here. Buffalo is not long for the NFL imo.

Apparently, it’s not just a question of paying back the money as there are other stipulations. I’ll get around to reading the entire relocation clause eventually, but this article in the news a few weeks ago is a good outline.
I don’t pay for the news so it’s blocked to me. But I’m not saying it’s likely, I’m saying it’s possible which it seems they are agreeing with. I just think within 15-20 years some city will blow the new owners away with an offer they can’t refuse. And when I say new owners, I fully believe the Pegulas won’t be in the picture anymore as they are already open to selling portions away now. It will o my get worse in years to come. JMO.

So whoever the owner is in 15 years will be saying to NY state they have to put a roof on the stadium or we’re leaving.
No. They’ll just leave

Well, the lease for the new stadium ties them here for 30 years. So there’s that. But I haven’t read the “out” clause if there is one, so perhaps they can break it earlier.
Pretty sure after like 10 years it’s significantly less than the $850m payback. Which imo is absolutely nothing to some rich billionaire owner. Who will likely be getting a free stadium in a new city like Austin

I think the problem people aren’t seeing with no dome is I think in 20 years or less the Bills will be the only non dome stadium in cold weather.
We will see what happens. Maybe there will be renovations in 20 years that puts a dome on it.
In about 20 years the Bills will be moving to some other city. Leaving us with a $1.7B stadium for UB to play in

I wonder who is leaking all this Thomas stuff. Somebody definitely wants him to drop. To me, the labrum isn't a big deal. Also to me its the top three...then Thomas Jr. in his own class. The argument can be made that Worthy may be in his own class because he is unique. Then I think it is everybody else.
Probably a team that legit doesn’t want BTJ because of his issues. Locker room issues. Shoulder issues. Plus I heard he punched his babysitter when he was 7

I'm betting this is a formality as the board will almost undoubtedly pile on Thomas here. My real vote would be not to move that high for any of these guys.
I agree. Maybe we should re-poll and ask again if anyone wants to move up. Pretty sure it would be close.

No shoulder injury. Plus I heard that Thomas is not a good locker room guy

Based on this it could be possible Brian Thomas would be available at 28 anyhow or maybe we trade up like 2-3 spots like usual to get our guy if they really did target him
That’s why you make the move for Worthy. BTJ is the smokescreen all along. It’s SPEED they want. We’ll call him The Flash. He’ll be injected with Puma sperm before every game. No DBs will have a chance at him

Worthy is definitely the pick here. Can’t teach speed. Hot, nasty, badass speed

I don't see any scenario the Commanders trade out of this pick. But for this exercise, I get it. Though I would have taken Penix instead of McCarthy.
Beauty is in the eye of the evaluator....
Picks galore. It would've been fun to see this draft play out.
I actually like Pennix quite a bit and would have taken him at 12. Problem was I thought I was going to get jumped for both these guys. So I made the pick I made.

I’m kind of a fan of that as well. Doesn’t matter which one I watch primarily. I’m recording the other so I can see what both are saying.
